ABOUT
A vintage technical reference that codifies standardized colour specifications for industrial, architectural, and safety related applications across the United Kingdom.
It defines precise hues, tolerances, and usage categories, ensuring that manufacturers, engineers, and designers can apply consistent colours in contexts where clarity, durability, and uniformity are essential. The publication reflects the mid century push toward harmonized standards, offering a structured system that reduces ambiguity in procurement, production, and visual communication.
Includes colour swatches.
CONDITION
Excellent with light wear on covers and page edges, marks from paperclip, pages reasonably clean. Images depict all need to know detail.
